Layers is an immersive exhibition that celebrates the unique beauty of the Australian landscape and raises awareness about the critical importance of environmental conservation.
Each piece is handbuilt using marbled earthy-toned clay, a material that mirrors the rich and diverse geological history of Australia. These sculptures will serve as metaphors for the fragile yet resilient nature of our environment.
Layers aims to inspire a sense of responsibility and reverence for the Australian landscape. It underscores the idea that, just as ceramicists mould clay into enduring creations, we, too, have the power to shape the future of our environment through mindful conservation and stewardship. Layers is a compelling reminder of the power of art and design to inspire change and foster a deeper connection with our planet.
